Can, from the Beermiscuous, Chicago, IL (Jan 2026). Pours cloudy reddish brown with a foamy beige head, spicy caramel malt aroma, high carbonation, bitterish spicy caramel taste, dried fruits flavor, grassy hops, alcohol undertones. thin body, long finish. Not bad, a bit boozy.

500ml corked bottle, thanks Sarah and Craig! Clove aroma with notes of caramel, Candi sugar, bread, nutmeg, allspice and spicy Belgian yeast. Pours deep caramel brown with a finger of tan head that has excellent retention and lacing. Starts with caramel, Candi sugar, nutmeg and allspice flavors as well as having a rich, full body and smooth mouthfeel. Finishes smooth and a touch dry with bread, clove and spicy Belgian yeast flavors. Very nice quad.

500ml bottle - as has been noted by previous raters, this one is heavily spiced with winter spices (nutmeg, clove, allspice), and this infusion distracts (and detracts) from the enjoyment of what is otherwise a solidly-made quad - nice carbonation - peppery and dusty yeast presence - dark fruit - drying, earthy, complexly phenolic finish - the spices finally get out of the way in the finish, but really make the overall experience less than it could be - sometimes less is more, guys.

16oz can. 11.6% ABV. Big cocoa tone, lesser raspberry. Adjuncts sort of pastrify it all out, detracting from what seems to be a really solid base beer. Just kills any semblance of balance. OK.

Pint can - moderately hazy gold with a soapy head - nose is spicy hops and light dusty yeast - quite dry, which I appreciate, but the strong hop profile swallows some of the yeast character up front - some peppery phenolics arrive late, along with mild esters - the finish brings slight sweetness and notes of bright fruitiness - overall it’s nice, but would like the hops toned down a bit.
